Types of Clouds

5. Clouds Puffy, white clouds with flat bases, often resembling cotton balls, associated with fair weather.
6. Clouds Thin, ice-crystal clouds covering the sky, creating a halo effect around the sun or moon.
8. Clouds Clouds formed above a source of heat, such as a wildfire, with the rising hot air creating upward air currents and cloud development.
10. Clouds Small, white patches of clouds at high altitudes, often indicating fair weather with occasional light showers.
11. A visible line of condensed water vapor, often forming behind aircraft engines at high altitudes.
14. Clouds Thick, dark clouds that cover the sky like a blanket, bringing steady precipitation over a large area.
15. Clouds Low, gray clouds that cover the sky like a blanket, often bringing overcast conditions and light precipitation.

1. Clouds Gray or white clouds forming a layer at medium altitudes, often preceding storms with continuous rain.
2. Clouds Gray or blue-gray clouds covering the sky, typically preceding storms with continuous rain or snow.
3. Clouds Wave-like clouds with distinctive rolling patterns, forming when there is a significant difference in air speed between two layers.
4. Clouds Lens-shaped clouds often forming over mountains, indicating turbulent air and atmospheric instability.
7. Clouds Towering clouds with an anvil-shaped top, associated with thunderstorms and heavy rainfall.
9. Clouds Low, lumpy clouds covering the sky but not entirely, often seen during fair weather with localized showers.
12. Clouds Rounded, pouch-like clouds hanging underneath the base of a thunderstorm, usually associated with severe weather.
13. Clouds Wispy, feathery clouds high in the sky, usually indicating fair weather or the approach of a change in weather.
